There are many that see fashion as more than a means to looking fly. Some see it as a vehicle to express one’s creativity. As champions of the latter statement, Fabric by Blackburn has entered NY’s luxury street market with sights set on awakening our fashion senses.

Opting for substance and style over hype, Blackburn takes an artistic approach to dressing city dwellers. Experimenting with a palette of expressive colors and patterns, including 60’s style paisley and floral prints, Blackburn is able to create wearable art with function, form and vintage warmth. Each garment speaks to a sensibility rooted in positive vibes and progressive thought.

Be on the lookout this summer when Fabric by Blackburn disturbs the retail slumber.
